Mediterranean Vineyard
A fresh pot of tea steeps on the granite island counter top, as the morning sun reflects off the grape leaves in the nearby vineyard. Working with the owners/contractors of this Oregon wine country home in the foothills of the coastal range, we collaboratively designed the cabinet work to fit in with the rustic nature of the structure, as well as the surrounding landscape. The interior decor consisted of mostly native Oregon wood species, and we honored that trend by crafting a beautify Oregon Walnut island at the conversational center of the home.
Arts and Crafts Styling
The brilliantly tailored stained cherry cabinetry was an inspirational interpretation from the arts and crafts movement. Fashioned and assembled on site by modern day crafts people taking into consideration contemporary demands and incorporating modern appliances and fixtures.
Buena Vista Sunrise
Existing mill work and cabinetry feature found throughout the home inspired the crafting this 1997 remodeled kitchen. Using the wood species, style forms that were found elsewhere throughout the home, the updated kitchen cabinetry and custom mill work was fashioned to blend into the look and spirit of the house, while paying homage to the original architect and builder. The island columns pulled in details from the dining room of the home, and the storage cubbies and plate rack helped define the character of the space. An artisan-painted custom pantry give the room some additional color and excitement. Grain matching of drawer faces across an elevation demonstrates an attention to details rarely seen, and a commitment to craft rarely seen in modern woodwork fabrication.
Greene and Greener
The charming eating nook to the side of this hard working, hardwood kitchen overlooks hillside pastures dotted with livestock. Every spaceof the house had custom fitted cabinetry installed including the spacious kitchen, laundry room, guest bathroom, powder room, a master bath and closet area, home office and drafting studio and a media room with built-in audio-video components. The lines of the woodwork were fairly plain and unadorned, allowing the undulating grain patterns of the stained quarter cut Cherry and White Oak hardwood speak volumes.
Confectionary Loft
Brilliantly stained cabinetry and woodwork, as well as many locally handmade glass, steel, stone, tile and wood elements deftly were fused to create a daring composition in a remodeled loft in a Portland Pearl District condo building that was initially built in the 1900’s as Portland’s first confectionery production plant. Panelized and built-in appliances, specialized stone and tile installation and a serpentine overhead lighting system serve to provide endless examples of customization and organization.
